Getting to Know You Ice Breaker

These Getting to Know you Ice Breakers are fantastic way for children to get to know each other in a safe and fair environment. These questions are kid friendly in that most kids can find another kid in class who can fit the bill.. For instance one of the questions are; "Find Someone who has brown eyes." This is pretty easy for most elementary and primary school classrooms.

Ice Breakers done well are a great way for kids to get to know each other quickly and which is fun. Who doesn't love fun? Kids get to find out kindred spirits and appreciate the differences in other children.

This activity should only take about 20 minutes. Once your students have written in most of the given spaces, it's time to share with the class as a whole. Have them sit on the mat or at their seats and have volunteers to give some great examples of their Getting to Know you Ice Breaker. Once again by sharing this information, children get to know each other quickly and their likes.

I hope you enjoyed learning about this ice breaker I am sure there are other great examples out there.
